Office 365 Apps
Microsoft Office has long been the standard for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. But Office 365 is so much more than Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
It’s Microsoft Teams, for creating true online collaboration and enabling new ways of communicating. It’s SharePoint Online, for sharing information and creating deeply-integrated intranets, extranets and portals. It’s Yammer, for building communities and sharing tacit knowledge. It’s Power Platform, for delivering business apps and business process automation that will put you ahead of the competition.
